*****************************. Lift
Every Voice! featuring . Soul Survivor James Brown*, modern music as we
know it would not be the same without this titan of music, politics and
Black culture.
*. The Cry of Jazz*, Sun Ra and his Arkestra
*. From Hip Hop to Mambo: A South Bronx Tale*, tells a story about the
creative life of the South Bronx, beginning with the Puerto Rican migration
and the adoption of Cuban rhythms to create the New York salsa sound;
continuing with the fires that destroyed the neighborhood, but not the
creative spirit of its people; chronicling the rise of hip-hop from the
ashes; and ending with reflections on the power of the neighborhood’s
music to ensure the survival of several generations of its residents
*. “Wattstax – 30th Anniversary Special Edition”* where half a million
people gathered together to hear and celebrate with some of the nations
most accalimed cultural workers in celebration of Black Power.

To tell the truth, the proof of success lies in a whole social structure
being changed from the bottom up. The extraordinary importance of this
change is that it is willed, called for, demanded. The need for this
change exists in its crude state, impetuous and compelling, in the
consciousness, creativity and expression of the men and women who are
colonized.
The yearnings for freedom rooted deep within the hearts and minds of the
people oftentimes find their most vibrant expression in the music and dance,
in the creativity of the individual that percolates up through the oppression
and despair and becomes a means for individual uplift and then takes hold
amongst the masses and furthers the transformation of repressive societies.
